When you want a change from the usual beef and chicken enchiladas, try these tortillas stuffed with crab, shrimp and scallops. They're cheesy, creamy and absolutely delicious!—Mary Halpin, King George, Virginia
Ingredients:
1/2 pound crabmeat, flaked and cartilage removed
1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound bay scallops
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
sauce:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon grated onion
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon tomato paste
8 flour tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack or colby cheese
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the seafood and onion in butter over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until onion is tender and shrimp turn pink. Remove from the heat; set aside.

4. Spread 1/2 cup sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place enchiladas seam side down in dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese.
